				OK... I've been trying to get PHP working for the past few hours with little success.  Here's what I'm doing:
 
 
1) Install web server (abyss)
 
2) Install mySQL
 
3) Install PHP.
 
 
I've created a test.php page that includes some HTML lines and some php. The HTML shows up fine but the php doesn't!  
 
 
Where am I going wrong???  HELP!
 
 
I am using Windows XP. |

				Right, Ive follwed all the rules that I have read in various manuals, but PHP still isn't working!
 
 
This is what I do:
 
 
1) Install web server
 
2) Install mySQL
 
3) Install PHP
 
 
Do I need to move any of the .dll files from the PHP folder to system32? Ive read I have to so I do yet it makes no difference.   I configure my web server as directed and I still get a blank screen whenever I open up my .php file.
 
 
Any ideas anyone? |

				WHen downloading PHP, choose the Windows installer version. It is the easiest to install. _________________ Support Team

				im trying to do the exact thing too.. i did follow the rules but it still doesnt work thats why it's so hard for some people to get php working!!!! this is my problem!!!
 
 
i did go to http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/php.html and i did everything there like it asked.. the only thing i was not sure was the part where it says Enter php in the Associated extensions and press OK. well what i put there was php and cgi. and when i try to go to a page like this http://68.3.37.49:1155/cgi-bin/ega/YaBB.cgi or http://68.3.37.49:1155/ega/index.shtml ... well on the yabb forum it gives me No input file specified. and on the main website for the counter it gives me [SSI Error in directive include in line 377: Not Found] and the path to that php file is <!--#include virtual="/counter.php" --> any idea's? |
